The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears

by Mark Batterson

Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers.

There is nothing God loves more than keeping promises, answering prayers, performing miracles, and fulfilling dreams.

the bigger the circle we draw, the better, because God gets more glory.

you are only one prayer away from a dream fulfilled, a promise kept, or a miracle performed.

Prayers are prophecies. They are the best predictors of your spiritual future.

the transcript of your prayers becomes the script of your life.

hold on to the promise God has put in your heart.

pray beyond yourself.

until His sovereign will becomes your sanctified wish, your prayer life will be unplugged from its power supply.

the goal is glorifying God by drawing circles around the promises, miracles, and dreams He wants for you.

raw dependence is the raw material out of which God performs His greatest miracles.

God won’t do it unless you pray for it.

We pray out of our impotence, but God answers out of His omnipotence.

your prayers have the potential to change the course of history.
